Post by: googoo11672 on February 14, 2015, 06:26:38 AM
I found this weird PC Engine Shuttle Clone from some guy selling retro stuff around my neighborhood

Does anyone know anything about it or what it's worth?

I Searched on google, the name of console to get more information, but i don't get nothing. :/
Also the shape of the console reminds me a atari jaguar.

That's a nice find. PC Engine clones are not something I've seen before.
I did find this on google, it's in french, but all I could find about it.

From what I can see there are also some pirated hu cards made for this system called pc cards, neat

oh wow, this one's new to me - I've seen these other two PC Engine clones before:
http://nfggames.com/games/pceclones/ (http://nfggames.com/games/pceclones/)
they're both based on the Shuttle design too, but they have cart slots for some weird pirate format in addition to the HuCard slot.

Jamiko made at least one other clone called the PC-II:

(and a Famiclone called the Neo Boy with a similar logo to the PC Boy: http://ultimateconsoledatabase.com/famiclones/jamico_neo_boy.htm (http://ultimateconsoledatabase.com/famiclones/jamico_neo_boy.htm))

but all PC Engine clones (and pirate games) seem to be really rare, clearly they weren't produced in any great quantities...

That's pretty cool, I didn't know that there are other PCE clones made, it's weird that they are all based on the shuttle design. Thanks for the links
Also if anyone's curious the system works fine, it works with japanese hu cards but it only runs on 50 Hz. I can show some gameplay footage with the Turbo Everdrive if anyone's interested
